Zhou Yi actually got married to Secretary Liu¡¯s daughter!
For the entire Zhou family, this is simplya big deal.
This branch of the Zhou family has been living in this remote place. They have been farming for generations and have never produced any capable people.
But Secretary Liu is different. He is a great person in the county. There are even rumors that he may have a chance to become the chief registrar of the county in a few years, and that is a legitimate official in the imperial court, even a ninth-grade official. A low-ranking official, but to Zhou Kang, he was someone he couldn't even try to curry favor with.
"Zhou Yi's family is blessed." Zhou Kang couldn't help but sigh.
The three sons stood crookedly on one side, mouths dripping with laughter.
Although they may look young, they look like they are aging before they get older.
Zhou Kang used to be proud of having three sons.
¡°After allthe more sons you have, the higher your status in the village will be.
But nowZhou Yi, who came back, asked Zhou Kang to look at his son, but he didn't like it no matter how he looked at it.
Look at them, they don¡¯t have a standing posture or a sitting posture. They are out of breath after not doing much farm work. The eldest brother has married a daughter-in-law. The second and third sons have not even seen a daughter-in-law so far, especially with these eyes. He looked lifeless and dirty, and couldn't find any good things about him.
The more Zhou Kang thought about it, the more depressed he became. He glared at them and couldn't help but cursed: "What are you doing standing here? It's not like you are marrying a bride. You are a bunch of bastards. If you don't do farm work, if you don't work, who will feed you?" roll!"
After hearing this, the three sons fled in panic.
Why¡¡
Zhou Kang shook his head.
He even began to wonder in his heart, how would Zhou Yi deal with it if he was scolded?
Anyway, Zhou Kang believes that with Zhou Yi¡¯s knowledge, he will definitely not be in such a mess.
Those who have seen the great world are those who have seen the great world.
¡¡¡¡
Two days have passed
"Liu Sili actually went to the countryside in person and brought a few clerks with him, making the village lively again.
But this time, what they brought was an official document from the government office.
The imperial court is actually recruiting soldiers again.
This time a very large number of people have been recruited. Not only that, former veterans are allowed to re-enlist. All veterans, as long as they join the army, will be directly awarded the rank of non-commissioned officers and re-enter Beijing for reorganization.
¡°That¡¯s why Secretary Liu came here.
Isn¡¯t his prospective son-in-law a veteran?
Secretary Liu was also very excited. He called all the people in the village and started asking the junior officials to post notices.
Because he wanted to test his potential son-in-law, he said directly to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, come and read it."
Zhou Yi listened, looked at the notice, and then started singing.
After a while, all the men in the village looked happy.
But as they continued to read, most of the people had sad expressions on their faces again.
This recruitment has very high requirements for new recruits!
Not only age, but also height and even vision are required.
This makes those who are overage and under-height all look sad.
Those who felt there was hope were so happy that they almost jumped up and cheered with excitement.
Zhou Kang was keeping company with Secretary Liu. When he heard the notice read by Zhou Yi, his head suddenly buzzed. He felt that his legs were a little weak and he was about to lose his balance. Fortunately, Zhou Yi helped him in time. .
Secretary Liu looked at the reactions of the young and old in the village with a red face.
Some women also heard the commotion and actually came out. The old mother-in-law and the young daughters-in-law whispered something.
The third child of Zhou Kang¡¯s family cheered loudly: ¡°Dad, Dad, I am tall enough and my age is just right.¡±
He looked at his father expectantly.
He wants to go to Ningbo, the capital, and eat meat.
When he thought of eating meat, his tears started to flow again.
Being a soldier means eating meat, it means you can study, it means you can also marry a wife, no you don¡¯t get a wife, you get a wife.
He looked at his father carefully, his eyes full of expectation.
If you become a soldier, it means that your family will lose a labor force. It would be bad if the father refused to go by himself.
His two elder brothers are both the same because they are overage.?I'm afraid there are too many false claims. There are people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are acting strangely"
"Yin and Yang are weird" Liu Jian frowned and raised his eyebrows: "These people are really stubborn."
Liu Jian has lost patience with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet. Even if the emperor takes away most of the Qingliu, the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to supervise, so there are still a lot of gossips.
Because Liu Jian supports the New Deal, he is becoming more and more consistent with His Majesty's wishes in terms of the New Deal, so much so that some people are beginning to be dissatisfied with Liu Jian, thinking that Liu Jian does not have the style of a minister and is opportunistic to please the emperor.
No matter how good-tempered Liu Jian was, he began to lose patience with these people.
Wang Shouren added: "They said that if they want to recruit so many people at once, all the prefectures and counties will use this name to recruit young people. By then, I don't know how many people will be crying without tears."
Liu Jian: ""
?????????????????This is the most common thing in this era.
The imperial court needed people, but the young men refused, so local officials, in order to complete the imperial court's allocations, sent petty officials to the countryside to get people. Often, such things caused a lot of trouble and made the people miserable. Unspeakable.
Now the imperial court needs to recruit nearly 100,000 people. Isn¡¯t such a large number just to recruit strong men?
